Listen to what our neighbors in Wisconsin have to say about Metallic Sulfide Mining in Michigan…Wisconsin passed a prove it first regulation 9 years ago.
Take a moment to think about Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and the nearby patches of Wisconsin, Lake Superior and Lake Michigan that border it. Picture the sparkling waterfalls, blueberries, brook trout and wave-washed shores there — the multitude of reasons so many think of this as God’s Country.
Thing is, change is in the air — and there’s a fair chance that it won’t be a good thing for the unspoiled waters of the U.P. — or for our water quality here, downstream, in Wisconsin.
New proposals for mining in the U.P. involve a method — metallic sulfide mining — known for its record of toxic water pollution.
If people knew just how ridiculous the whole idea of a nickle sulfide mine in the headwaters of the Salmon Trout River really is...there would have been no permit to mine.
Ignorance is the mining companies and the governments best asset.
Seriously people...wake up! This mine will devestate the Salmon Trout River, groundwater over the entire region and Lake Superior.
Sometimes I wonder where peoples heads are at... research the history of these mines and this company...
People ...it just "ain't" worth it.
Hunters, Fishermen and Sportsmen...we must lead the charge!
